leucoma

La causa del trasplante ha sido una descompensacion corneal endotelial poscirugia de cataratas en la mayoria de los casos, salvo en 4 de ellos en los cuales la etiologia eran leucomas corneales postinfeccion herpetica y 1 por leucoma postraumatico.

For leucoma, fungal keratitis, and herpes simplex keratitis, PKP is relatively safe from endothelial decompensation [16].

Leucoma and corneal neovascularization on the left eye corneal surface were observed (Figure 2).

(6) However, the occurrence of adherent leucoma in leprosy has not been described in the existing literature.

Whereas two cases, showed dense white (leucoma) opacity as a result of scar formation sequele to corneal ulceration on 7 (th) day and further the opacities did not show any regression in size or density upto 15 (th) day, which was attributed to the deeper initial injuries which produced more dense and permanent scars with no tendency for clearing.

The authors also state that most of the corneal and lens pathologies causing visual impairment are related to corneal leucoma, keratoconus and cataract.
